The Simple Dollar Weekly Roundup: Daughter Edition

By default, it’s easier for me to relate to and understand my two sons than it is to relate to my daughter. I was once a little boy myself with a personality not too different than my own sons. I was raised in a household with only brothers, no sisters.

This means that understanding and relating to my daughter takes more work for me than it does with my sons. I’ve spent quite a lot of time reading books about parenting a little girl and, when our children are playing, I spend more time watching my daughter and learning about how she plays and thinks and reacts than I do my sons, who often react and think and play in a way that’s much more natural to me.

This has actually resulted in a much stronger relationship with my daughter than I might have expected, particularly lately. When she was born, I was very afraid I would have a difficult time understanding how she would act and respond, but it’s actually all working quite well.
